The bread freezes well in loaf form and you can make it even when the squash gets huge ( leave out the seed parts when no longer tender).

I swear zucchini will come up and knock on your door themselves. Little yellow summer squash, on the other hand, are well behaved and equally tasty.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-36493008597381039702018-07-16T01:49:50.624-07:002018-07-16T01:49:50.624-07:00Thanks Cro - I shall try that at lunch time today....Thanks Cro - I shall try that at lunch time today.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-40293530031172131242018-07-16T01:36:12.462-07:002018-07-16T01:36:12.462-07:00A lovely vegetable is courgette, brought some home...A lovely vegetable is courgette, brought some home from my partner's this morning and will enjoy them lightly fried.<br />Yes, the World Cup is over and hopefully England will accept that winning just three matches out of seven played doesn't make them much different to previous England teams.

I remember one year when I picked loads of French beans then later it was runner beans which are my favourite. I had grown them pots big enough to take 4 or 5 plants each. Hope you find homes for all those courgettes! I grew mine at the end of the patio and they almost took over, trailing about all over the place.<br />I am relieved that it is going to be cooler this week. It really was getting a bit much.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-72197734184031605072018-07-16T00:15:31.085-07:002018-07-16T00:15:31.085-07:00I never realised that courgettes need so much work...I never realised that courgettes need so much work.
